The Rip City Remix selected Thierry Darlan, Sterling Manley, and Olisa Akonobi in the 2024 NBA G League Draft held earlier today.
Choosing Darlan with their 4th overall pick brings them a 6’8” 20-year-old guard from the G League Ignite and formerly of the NBA Academy Africa in Senegal. Darlan was also named the 2022 MVP of the Basketball Without Borders Africa camp. In 45 games with the Ignite, Darlan averaged 5.4 points and 3.7 boards. Darlan also worked out with the Blazers as part of their pre-draft process back in May.
